Obama's Dollar Diss & EU Market Manipulation
In the wee hours of a solemn Monday morning as I scribbled my thoughts for followers, sometime around 4 AM EDT, I noted a sharp drop in the dollar index. As I scrambled to figure out what had happened to cause the counterintuitive decline, I found what stank of European desperation. In fact, I noted that a series of public statements over the past couple trading days had illustrated that the Europeans are desperate to prop up the euro against a strengthening dollar. As Greece appears headed for a nightmarish scenario for the eurozone, it shows just how concerning the situation really is. However, no matter how much noise is mixed into the trading, the key catalyst for dollar gains remains and it will drive the dollar higher. See my report on the dollar here.
